Yeah, let it get GOOD and hungry for a while, then hold one in front of it with a long pair of tongs and let it check it out with it's tongue. Tearing the snout off of the F/T pinkie beforehand can work like absolute MAGIC many times too. It allows the moist tissue scent to come out instead of the very stale not-so-good smell from being frozen in the bag for a good while. I do this all the time with many snakes that are otherwise reluctant to accept the prey any other way.

It will catch on soon, believe me.
